Would Black NFL Players Refuse To Play For Limbaugh's Rams?

"In Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering"----Rush Limbaugh, Sept. 15, 2009.

There's growing speculation brewing now that black players will refuse to play for the St. Louis Rams, should hatemonger Rush Limbaugh succeed in his bid to buy the team.

I hope to God this is indeed the case, and that black players will indeed boycott the Rams. I cannot fathom how any African-American football player could play on a team owned by a Nazi asshole like Limbaugh. I mean, this is a man who has essentially built his career by denigrating and mocking black people, with one racist comment after another.

Furthermore, I believe the Rams, and the NFL in general have even more to lose, should they allow the OxyMoron to buy the Rams. I would wager that a lot of fans (like myself) will boycott the NFL. The NFL allows this fat piece of shit a seat at the owners' table at its own financial peril.

Yeah, anonymous, we believe in free speech, most likely even more than you reactionaries do, considering your poor record regarding illegal wiretapping on a mass scale. But when people constantly lie and make offensive racial remarks as Limbaugh does, we don't have to like it or even listen to it. And if those remarks are as baiting, offensive, and hateful as his are, he has the right to expect a punch in the mouth for being way out of line. And Limbaugh has done absolutely NOTHING to deserve the title of hero.

Rush Limbaugh indeed has the right to say whatever he wants, and the NFL, as a private entity, has the right to bar Limbaugh from owning a franchise if they feel his past statements would be detrimental to the league's operations.

Seriously dude, you need to get new material. You're falling behind Manifesto Joe and Farnsworth/One Pissed Off Veteran. Still like it when you have new topics and how you roast right wingnuts, though.
